[ Website note: this bibliography was current as of December 1993. It shall be superseded shortly. ]

This is the most extensive survey of writing by and about Mary MacLane undertaken to date. Much of her own writing was
feature work done on commission for newspapers, and as such was never collected or indexed systematically. Undoubtedly,
more of her work is simply awaiting disovery - in the pages of old newspapers. (There was not a hint of the existence of
the Chicago Sunday Tribune's "Mary MacLane Says - " until a clipping of it surfaced during the editor's research in
the Newberry collection. MacLane herself refers to more such otherwise-unknown writing in a 1904 letter to M.E. Stone
(Newberry collection) written from Colorado while on assignment to write a six-week feature series for a Denver newspaper;
these pieces are yet to be found.)

Similarly - because the secondary literature on her was not collected or tabulated as it appeared over the years - there is
more writing about MacLane still to be discovered and catalogued.

This bibliography, then, is by no means exhaustive. It may be taken instead as an outline of MacLane's oeuvre, an
indication of her impact upon the press and public of her time, and an index to published references both during her
lifetime and after, made as complete as present knowledge permits.

The editor has relied upon Lipson's and Pascoe's valuable bibliographic work (see citations below) for information on
items that could not be personally inspected.

Page numbers and publishers' names have been provided where possible.
